Explanation:

To determine the correct requirement for storing chemicals:

• Option a: Clearly labeling chemical containers is a standard safety and organizational requirement for storing chemicals, as it helps identify contents, hazards, etc.
• Option b: Storing chemicals where they will be used is not a general requirement; proper storage (e.g., in designated areas, considering compatibility, safety) is more important than proximity to use.
• Option c: Used or spilled chemicals should not be stored in the original container (spilled chemicals may contaminate or react, and used chemicals may need proper disposal or transfer, not storage in original containers).

So, option a is correct.

Answer:

a. Chemical containers should be clearly labeled
